The Big 3!!!

Kobe has been gearing and thinking about his birthday for months now. He has gone through a million birthday party ideas...changing his mind on the type of birthday cake...and what he wants. Not so much changing his mind on what he wants but more so as he would quote me "You want everything." Well September 21st has finally come.



It was nice to spend a day focusing on him. Kobe woke up and had french toast, watermelon and a candle. He blew the candle out before I even got to tell him he had to make a wish. It is so fun to have a little guy that finally gets a "birthday". He giggled as Grandma Gwen sang what i think was happy birthday. All he said after the conversation was, "grandma's funny." While he was too busy watching Dinosaur trains to talk to his dad, other's did manage to catch his attention for a minute to wish him a Happy Birthday. that is while...at the library reading a book and my favorite was Aunt Megan's call while he was going down the slide or climbing it for that matter. It's funny how at his age he think you can see what it going on the other side of the phone. He kept showing people how old he was on the phone, in case you couldn't see he followed it with "I'm free".




So we managed to squeeze in the library, park, dinosaur nuggets in a tent in the living room while watching Spirit at lunch, present opening time and a spontaneous get together with G.G. , papa, grandma and pa Jones, Dust buster, Tiki and Jacob. We had homemade pizza, salsa, veggie tray, and Kobe picked out a Lightening McQueen Ice cream Cake. They unfortunate surprise of going to Hop To IT turning out to be a Surprise we close in 5 MINS!! I think I was more bummed then Kobe. He loves that place and We were all excited to go watch him break loose, but instead we ran to the park and watched him take on Uncle Dustin on a race around the toys.


He must of had a great day because he fell asleep on the way home and was in bed by 8:30pm. Well thanks fam for the phone calls. It really made him feel special today.

Kobe loves to do so many things at this age: trains, dinosaurs, hence PBS' Dinosaur Trains, finding the moon and stars, pirates, movies the latest "Spirit" on second renting from the Library, parks, library, Thomas the Train, I spys, HIS MOM, snich tomatoes from the garden with his shadow and partner in crime Trevor, learning!!!!, water, cooking, helping put away the silverwear, picking up SPIDERS and worms, painting (when my mom lets me), dancing to music on movies, singing (He knows from the first tune "MY BIG GREEN TRACTOR", making Trevor laugh, wrastling and hanging with His cousins!

What Kobe doesn't like at this age: Not a lot , that is it depends on the day but the one thing that is consistent: he hates getting dress on only one day of the week, which happens to be Sundays!

We love you Kobe!!! I remember the day you came and moment I held you, I knew you were my special "Sonshine" You make us smile everyday with your cute and spontaneous comments. You surprise us everyday with your smart and unbelievable whits. You teach us something everyday that we could do better because of your example.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
